Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2021) - Cortus Metals Inc. (TSXV: CRTS) (OTCQB: CRTTF) (the "Company", or "Cortus"), announces that it intends to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 through the issuance up to 6,666,666 units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.15 per Unit (the "Financing"). Each Unit will comprise one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a "Warrant") will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 12 months. The warrants will be subject to an accelerated expiry provision such that if the closing price of the Company's common shares is equal to or greater than $0.30 for a period of five consecutive trading days (at any time at or following the expiry of the four months resale restriction period), the Company may, by notice to the warrant holder in writing or via press release reduce the remaining exercise period applicable to the warrants to not less than 30 days from the date of such notice.
Directors and officers of the Company may acquire Units in the Financing, which participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
Finder's fees may be paid to registered dealers or other qualified parties in connection with the Financing on terms to be determined. The proceeds of the Financing will be utilized for exploration expenditures on the Company's mineral properties, including land maintenance costs and general working capital. The completion of the Financing remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.
The Company reserves the right to increase the number of Units issued pursuant to the Financing to up to 10,000,000 Units for up to total gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
